<p>"A beautiful collection of the first six (long out of print) issues of Mend My Dress- a zine that for years has been constantly impressive in its openness and strength. Seeing it in this form puts into perspective how great it is. It’s also one of the best laid out and cleanest zine collections in book form that I have seen. 'Mend My Dress offers a complex, nuanced, and skillfully constructed picture of multifarious girlhood vulnerability. Althought Chestnut writes in a diary-like, stream of consciousness style, her work should not be misinterpreted as simple autobiography; instead, it offers artistic and literary mediation.' – Alison Piepmeier; author of ‘Girl Zines’. 180 pages, trade paperback."</p>Candy or Medicine: The Compleat First Year Out Now! 56 pages for $3.tag:wemakezines.ning.com,2011-07-05:2288844:BlogPost:2457352011-07-05T18:28:36.000ZJosh Blairhttp://wemakezines.ning.com/profile/JoshBlair

<p>Getting older I try to get to bed at a reasonable hour, especially if I am working the next morning. While I could stay up as late as I wanted to (being an adult does have its advantages) I find I have lost my night owl tendancies.</p>

<p>I used to stay up late, tapping away at my computer keyboard or reading a book when I should of turned the lights out hours ago.</p>
<p>Getting older I try to get to bed at a reasonable hour, especially if I am working the next morning. While I could stay up as late as I wanted to (being an adult does have its advantages) I find I have lost my night owl tendancies.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>However when I am inspired, that is a whole other story. There have been instances where an idea has struck me and not wanting to lose it I have gotten out of bed to write. Then going back to bed realising that I still had so much more to write so staying awake even longer.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>It is currently after 2am and I have been grabbed by the need to write. Part of it is wanting to continue with the piece I was working on while taking the bus back to the city this evening. I also have some more bits I want to work on for On A Sugar High issue two and maybe later today I'll sort my desk out so I can hook up the printer to print some of the things I have been writing and play around with layout.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I have been reading through a pile of zines in my collection (and I swear that my collection seems smaller. Perhaps I left some of them in Greymouth by mistake. Damn) and been talking to people about zines lately. And as cheesy as it may sound it makes me feel very inspired. Like I want to kick this issue two out of all these drafts from various notebooks and notes written on scraps of paper at work. Like I want to actually show this issue to other people and trade for other zines. And it is a great feeling and the kick in the ass I need to actually do this thing.</p>My collectiontag:wemakezines.ning.com,2009-01-27:2288844:BlogPost:396022009-01-27T03:35:58.000ZRhondahttp://wemakezines.ning.com/profile/Rhonda
